Possible to Mass Export All Uploaded Files?

All feedback is appreciated.

Bitcache (http://bitcache.org/) has a command line sync functionality which could be used to sync several remote repositories.

Syncing repositories is great, but I think what the average user (read: me) needs is an export function that would preserve the file names and directory structure maintained by FileFramework.

Perhaps symlinks could be used in the case of multiple taxonomy terms for a given bitstream, with the actual data being stored according to the lowest nodeID.

You could use a File Relations Server for this. Just mount locally a DAV resource and you can copy over all the files with the names and folders preserved.

That sounds like a pretty good solution...I should have thought of that...

In case anyone else needed to do a bulk export from Bitcache/FileFramework, on a one-off basis, here's how I did it.

I didn't want to install any extra modules (and File Relations Server has several dependencies), so I created a RSS feed in Views and wrote a quick and dirty python script to download all the files from that feed. Both are in the attached file.

Import the view from exportmeview.txt, then run the script as

python getfiles.py http://your.feed.url /path/to/local/directory
